What are Megawatt-hour and Foot-pound

Definition of Megawatt-hour

A Megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy equivalent to one megawatt (1 MW) of power expended for one hour (1 h) of time. Essentially, it represents a considerable amount of energy, typically used in the context of electricity generation and consumption by large entities such as towns or industries.

Definition of Foot-pound

A Foot-pound (ft·lb) is a unit of work or energy in the Imperial and US customary systems. It is the amount of energy expended when a force of one pound-force is applied over a displacement of one foot. In physical terms, it's the work done by a one-pound force moving an object a distance of one foot along the direction of the force.
